I met some wonderful people both staff and clients.
Overall I found the stay here very helpful in my journey to recovery. Before coming here, I was on a path of self destruction. I feel I have left with the tools and knowledge to carry on with sobriety in the real world. The staff were really helpful and very approachable, and the food was nice. I Would recommend it to anyone who is looking to get clean.
Making the decision to come to Oasis Runcorn has been the best decision I have ever made in my entire my life. They have saved my life - it's as simple as that. I cannot speak more highly of the staff - they are absolute heroes. The centre is immaculate, comfortable, warm, and a beautiful environment. I have been blessed to have experienced my recovery alongside a wonderful community of people who are going through the same challenges. I would recommend this centre to anyone who has a genuine desire to recover from addition.
The time I have spent at Oasis Runcorn has proved I game changer for me. The team here have instigated a change in me that I would not have thought possible when I walked through the door just 1 month ago. I am no longer on the path to self destruction and likely death. The support, care, counselling and therapeutic sessions have proved invaluable in making this change happen and helping me understanding my addiction better. I am leaving here with hope for the first time in my addiction and looking forward to my continued recovery. Oasis and the team here have quiet literally saved my life!
One of the best experiences in my life, considering all my time in addiction, i would recommend for everyone to come if they have any problems.
There is no doubt in my mind that if it wasn't for Oasis Runcorn I would have continued on the path of self destruction that I was on to the bitter end. The therapy team have managed to do something in my life that i would have thought impossible just 12 weeks ago. If you do as suggested in this environment you can achieve something incredibly worthwhile. The support staff are always there to facilitate any reasonable request but are also aware enough to deny requests that would hamper a residents progress. The food is really good and the cleaning staff do an excellent job despite having to clean up after some very messy people. It could quite easily be 5 stars in this respect. What i will say is that the Centre looks a little tired and worn and needs a bit of attention. I had to wait 10 days to get in here. So, again it could have been 5 stars. Definitely the best thing I have ever done.
I found the therapeutic activities, self-reflection models and counselling techniques very valuable, informative and useful in my continuing recovery. I feel that the type and level of support available was empowering in my future recovery. The overall experience was of a very thorough, well-planned out programme that I would recommend to anyone in need of rehabilitation from substance misuse.
My decision to come to Oasis Runcorn has been genuinely one of the best decisions I have made. I didn't believe that what I gained would be so insightful. I have made break throughs via my therapist and through chatting with other residents, through this and feedback I now understand better as to why this addiction started and had such a hold over me for so long. I cant thank you all enough. You have given me hope and confidence that my life can be great without the need for my substance, and that I don't need it to be me.
very special heart felt thanks to all staff especially my therapist eho was more patient with me .and great advice was given. Without him I would probably have left early.my only winge is that when others went on daily walks I couldn't due to injury.so other methods should looked at to occupy me .and others in my situation.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my 28 days at Oasis Runcorn. I was instantly made aware of behaviours i was actively practicing and how damaging they were to me, those close to me and those i am around daily. I worked on this with my therapist and was given the space to practice correcting the behavious in the community. I wish i could stay longer to get more out of the 1-2-1 therapy sessions. I will however be seeking this out when i leave Runcorn Oasis. The staff are extremely fair, friendly and will go out of the way to look after me. There is a reason behind everything the staff put in place here and as soon as i accepted that i was able to get my head down and start working on myself - which is what i am here for.
